Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 SoC was marred with overheating issues, and it looks like its successor has inherited much of the same. But don't worry, Samsung is already working on a patch to fix heat problems of the Snapdragon 820. The chipset is said to power no less than the upcoming Galaxy S7.

A fresh report from Business Korea via Android Headlines indicated that Samsung is currently modifying the microprocessor control program of the Snapdragon 820. Furthermore, the company could fit the chipset with some sort of "radiating pipe" to help pacify the heat. A patch is likely to be finished within a month.

Samsung is said to install the Snapdragon 820 into the Galaxy S7 at all cost since the chipset has 40 percent faster graphics performance and consumes 40 percent less battery juice than the Snapdragon 810 SoC, Phone Arena reported.

It can be remembered that the Galaxy S6 was powered by Samsung's very own Exynos 7420 chipset, which performed similar to the Snapdragon 810, aside from the heat problems and power consumption.

Other companies that are planning to use the Snapdragon 820 SoC on future flagship devices are LG, HTC and Xiaomi. The chipset certainly has its ups, and, now, we know it also has some downs. After the disappointment brought about by the Snapdragon 810, Qualcomm can't afford to compromise this time, let alone mess up.

If Samsung successfully addresses heat problems of the Snapdragon 820 on the Galaxy S7, the company won't only see a spike in mobile market shares, but it would also help turn things around for Qualcomm.

The leading albeit shamed SoC manufacturer announced that it would need to cut as much as $1.4 million in expenses and considerably trim down its manpower to survive its current financial woes, as per 9to5Google.

As for the Galaxy S7, Samsung's next-gen flagship is rumored to be showcased in January 2016 then launched a month after in February.

G for Games reported that the device will rock a magnesium alloy body that is corrosion resistant, light-weight, and, most importantly, durable.

The Galaxy S7 is expected to come in three different processor variants, although the three will be available in separate regions.

According to sources from SamMobile, the Galaxy S7 powered by the Snapdragon 820 will only be offered in the U.S. and China. The Exynos 7422 version will be for the Indian market while the one with Exynos 8890 SoC is exclusive for Samsung's native country, Japan, as well as the European markets.
